Basement flooding from snowmelt and groundwater
Why it happens here
Snowmelt runoff from the Oquirrh Mountains foothills saturates the ground above Oquirrh South and Oquirrh East each spring. The water table rises, and groundwater pushes through foundation walls and floor cracks. Older homes with original foundation drains cannot handle the volume.
Our approach
We extract the water, dry the concrete and framing with desiccant dehumidifiers, and seal the entry points with epoxy injection resin and sealant. We also check the sump pump and foundation drain so the next spring melt does not flood the same basement.
